New Instructors
Ask anyone who has taken ICCIE courses about his or her favorite aspect of the organization, and the likely answer will be the stellar level of instructors. Since ICCIE’s launch in 2004 established captive experts have come forward to teach both our core and elective courses. A quick look at the “Faculty” page on the ICCIE website will attest to the level of ICCIE instructors, both past and present. So we are always excited to welcome new faculty members who help us maintain that extremely high bar. Joining the ICCIE faculty in the next few months are:
Mike Domanski
Jason Flaxbeard
Chris Mandel
Dave Roberts
Lesley Thompson

THANK YOU for being part of the ICCIE team!

Next week ICCIE webcasts a session from the Vermont Captive Insurance Association (VCIA) annual conference, and in September will do the same at the South Carolina Captive Insurance Association (SCCIA) conference. Thanks to all those involved who have helped ICCIE disseminate these vital industry sessions to students around the country and the world.
